Kudos. But all these have been put in place before and nothing good came out of it. Asyou put them down, monitor their usage, and ensure you are getting result. You can only know by listening to the beneficiary, which is the masses.

DeleteTrain our police men n provide money for fuel o, cars won't move on their own.
DeleteWell done sir...love this effort
ReplyDeleteWay nonsense u all are talking about. No body has asked what happened to the old vehicles. I was expecting to see machines/ power bikes so as to escape traffic for immediate rescue. Also can't ya all see d clean fords, way ever happen to peageot built for nija roads. This vehicles can only operate island and few places in mainland
DeleteSeriously.? Still won't stop an innocent civilian from being robbed dis nyt. Do something fast, u guys are even acting too late.
ReplyDeleteWow that's great
ReplyDeleteFinally...Ur head is getting there.

ReplyDeleteAmen o. I hope dey work
ReplyDeleteAMBOOOOO AMBO......
ReplyDeleteCan these be maintained? Nigerian police can drive cars without maintenance because they didn't buy it with their money. Look at most of those trucks use by them... front lights, sides and more damaged. I often see them at night drinking all manners of alcohols and afterwards... they drive and destroy government properties.
ReplyDeleteNice move, this will go a long way in stemming the high crime rate in Lagos.
ReplyDelete~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
End time boy
DeleteMehn this is huge Nigeria should wake up and do things like this, especially south east states
ReplyDeleteOk, so do the haters have to say. ???????? cant hear you. Protect us your excellency. keep the good work going. my votes and financial resources no waste. deliver us a safe state.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm, nice one there!
ReplyDeleteYeah dear,nice reporting,please put ,(comma)after the Armoured Personal Carriers(APC's),you also forgot to mention the new Rapid Response Squad(RRS) logo launched.
ReplyDeleteWe may have just seen our first 'STATE POLICE'launch in Nigeria in recent times.
Your last sentence has said it all. State police. It's about time!
DeleteGood move!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm nice one there!
ReplyDeleteDis 1 na wen d aircondinoner blow d police dem go sleep forget thief. Wetin convern me sef if u like buy dem James Bond car
ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeleteIf only the police will put them to good use and also other state governors should do same.
ReplyDeleteThis is commendable but the problem has always been the maintenance culture..... Successive govt have donated cars & bikes to the police, but they get dilapidated in just 6months!....you will be shocked what they will look like in 6months
ReplyDeleteLagos is about to start working again...
ReplyDeleteOh Ambode can steal for Africa. lol Lagosians can be dumb. He intentionally allowed crime rate to go up so he can pocket 2bnof the contract sum. lol. Lagosians ha you have laid your beds you must lie on it
ReplyDeleteNa true oh, this is another side of this development. How is this going to solve traffic gridlock in the state?
DeleteAt least he's doing something brainless fools you are...
Delete@ anon 8.33, u sound as brainless as the lagosians who voted this club hopper! And yes this is all a way of embezelling funds to his greedy fat head self! All these cars are just waste when we have more pressing issues in the state. One would even be expecting more bikes than cars.
DeleteGood one. Hope it would be utilized well.
ReplyDeleteNice nice!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoahhhh!!!!dat's good,hehehehe tough time 4 dese robbers una shld better repent now or else jail awaits u all......
ReplyDeleteNothing like tough time jor. Even is helicopter is flying above who will they see when there's no light on the ground? Or is it when road don block with traffic that police will be "speeding" with these new cars?
DeleteNice nice!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSee money wasting. . Pls secure jobs for the jobless... they are the ones going into robbery..
ReplyDeleteGbam.
DeleteAll these cars will be useless in a months time... Idiots
ReplyDeleteDPOs don get official cars. Dey ll neva use dse ones to fight crime or maintain it. Or is ds Dubai?
ReplyDeleteLagos state has set d pace!
ReplyDeletethe problem with government procurement in Nigeria has always been in the area of maintenance. Am highly skeptical of the condition of these operational machines say in 4 years time. Very apt right now with the security challenge in Lagos State at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWatch out!
ReplyDeleteAmbode is set to become the best governor Lagos ever had!!!!
Excellent stuff
ReplyDeleteBeautiful this will help fast cars nd shit thief come run make I see lol!
ReplyDeleteWhen there's no road where the fast car wan dey speed? Inside traffic??
DeleteNice one!
ReplyDeleteMaintenance is another thing
some people don HAMMA
ReplyDeleteYou know what's up jare.
DeleteWow! Very good.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good move! Inception of better days ahead.
ReplyDeleteNa by like that? The cops will wreck these in days. What Nigeria needs is competent cops not more equipments. Competent cops then good equipments, cos a good equipment in the hands of a useless cop is rubbish!
ReplyDeleteWell said
DeleteLAPD! Ambode is working!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite impressive and commendable. Thumbs up Sir!!
ReplyDeleteGood job Ambode I hope d toll free number will work. valentino_nero@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI think Ambode is now arriving:-) before he was coming. Now he is close by to the Lagosians
ReplyDeleteBull crap...is that the problem...pls do road ant stop tanker n provide jobs....
ReplyDeleteI rlly hope I get to c one of dos...Make e no be fubu.
ReplyDeleteall dz reckless officers...they will wreck the cars soon
ReplyDeleteMISSVEE
Yay! Lagos Police. They will yeye the whole body of the vehicles with their yeye driving :D. Anyway, I sincerely hope all of these will translate into a safer lagos for us all
ReplyDeleteWowwww. I hardly comment on this page. But seeing this after waiting for Ambode to arrive. Am feeling the funky freaking governor.
ReplyDeleteNow let the police wipe the a..es of the robbers away from Lagos.
One more thing, the governor should endeavor to improve on the allowance given to the policemen and other forces involved.
God bless Nigeria

ReplyDeleteNice one Ambos....
ReplyDelete*the Naija photographer*
nice article i like your post bro : D
ReplyDeletewhen some people who knows the benefits of these projects are busy commending the Gov, some fake people here are still saying trash. what would you have done differently if you were to be the governor of the state. this is a great development to the state and Lagos will always be a pace setter. Kudos to you Governor Ambode. ride on!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStanding up and clapping, this is right step in the right direction, great.
ReplyDeleteThe amount expended on these security equipments (very important though), could have empowered many Lagosians in many ways. create many Jobs for the "crime and criminality tended". I bet you that after six months, take an inventory of these assets and some of them will be written off. then talk of police law-less-ness and intimidation of the populace whom they are meant to protect with these vehicles.we are watching.......

ReplyDeleteup gov ambode lag will experience good things
ReplyDeleteOne Strategically installed CCTV Camera does a job of 5thousand policemen combined,it doesn't sleep nor blink, Waste of resources. Two years later they will sell those carsto Oko-ashawo them:)
ReplyDeleteHow did France know and traced those terrorists with Toyota cars, Boots and Helicopters?
ReplyDeleteAfter buying all these,will it change d mentality of the police man who will drive this? Dead brain in a nice car
ReplyDeleteHe has been talking amd commisioning since,pls get to work already.
ReplyDeleteEko for show.. After the photo op we will start looking for this cars months later
ReplyDeleteOh lord!! Get ready to be bullied by some power drunk cops Lagos!! *takes cover*

ReplyDeleteAll Dis fine cars for Dis retard Lagos police men?. I give d cars jus 2 Weeks and dey are wrecked.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Gov Akinwunmi Ambode. This is clearly an eloquent testimony to the fact that Gov Ambode and his team are ready to do the bidding of the citizens at all times. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteDoes this really worth being celebrated, people have made several comments on incessant robbery @ Onikan,
ReplyDeleteBesides, we just helped some countries by importing these from their economy and drain our own foreign reserve, Mr President, when are we going to start producing these in Nigeria?
In the midst of the traffic? Robbers don vamoose b4 u reach crime scene, abeg sell of some cars nd buy them Skateboard.
ReplyDeleteAbeg, 90% will be used for escort service
ReplyDeleteGov Ambode ,great job on the procurement to elevate the police force ,(I am an APC member ) but my main issue is ...why red carpet and invitation of the presidency to commission cars ,the police need adequate planning and training to use this equipment effectively, almost every top gov leader have traveled out of country to western world why do you spent money on ceremony to commission cars purchased with tax payers money and state revenue ,"I hope you won't invite Obama to commission you next procurement " the lagos state citizens that use WOODEN crossover BRIDGE for their daily activities needs urgent help" some of the bridge was build before tinubu administration, nothing was done about it , life of the masses and poor in lagos matters, I don't live around this locations, but please they need help.
ReplyDeleteColors should be green white green. Also Nigeria has issues with being consistent. They start something but never finish it
ReplyDeleteALL I CAN SAY IS AMBODE YOU HAVE TRIED BUT I GIVE THIS GADGETS 1 YEAR AND THEY WOULD BE AS OLD AND DIRTY AS HELL. PLEASE TELL THOSE WHO WOULD USE IT TO DRIVE WITH SENSE. AND FINALLY YOU FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT MOUNTING CCTV CAMERAS AROUNG LAGOS. GBAM!!!
ReplyDeletePrivate plate number for police?
ReplyDeleteSomeone has hammered on this deal :-).
ReplyDeleteI believe equipping our police should be done, but providing them just equipments is not the only thing they require to police the state/nation properly. They need to be properly trained, re-oriented, properly compensated (cash in hand and other benefits, such as life assurance policy). Their barracks should be renovated etc. I like the comment on CCTV, this is a productivity tool. We do not have the number of policemen required to police lagos state so CCTV would be helpful.
By the way, when were these things ordered for them to have arrived so fast. My theory, "some people had a script, and by deliberately increasing crime rate in Lag, they opened up a pathway for this kind of mega spending for the Lagos state governor". If there was no increase in crime in the last few weeks, we would not be approving this kind of spend when there are other pressing issues with our state and nation at large.
That's if they don't turn it to their private cars
ReplyDeleteThe reckless use of vehicles and equipment by the Nigerian Police Force should be addressed. I dare say that this gesture by ambode will amount to waste. This gesture in my opinion,is not sustainable,as there will be abuse.
ReplyDeleteLet's see out come...
ReplyDeleteEgunje will be increased now to fuel car... dee
ReplyDeleteThe only governor that is bold enough to implement what he has seen abroad. Other governors are cheats and corrupt.
ReplyDeleteWith d bad roads in Lagos. Does cars won't last a year. Take a gud look at d brt buses. Some look like dump. Maintenance is Nigeria problem
ReplyDeleteMAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE should be the priority now,because it is a known fact average Nigerians lack maintenance culture...Kudos to the governor,great job..
ReplyDeleteBullshit...We already know the vehicles would become official vehicles for the police ogas and their mostly cuddly housewives. Provide jobs. Keep the citizenry busy andcrime will reduce. Did sociologists teach you that there is a correlation between joblessness and crime?If we dig deeper now, we will discover that some billions were stolen as a result of this unnecessary purchase.
